BubbleUPnP and the Linn DS implement this renderer protocol correctly. You would need to check whether or not Sonore and PS Audio do this. The name of the relevant API is GetProtocolInfo.

If this support is confirmed, you could use the second of your suggestions:

dsf:-/wav24;176
for my Sonore and Akurate

This would play DSF files transcoded to wav24;176 on the PS Audio (better than not playing them at all).

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the clarification and idea. I had not thought about playing the DSD files as wav on the PS Audio.
After adding the transcode value do I need to restart Minimserver or will the change take effect with the next tracks?
I will give this a try when I have some time and report back.
